Chapter 551: Lingwu (6)

But obviously, Zhou Zheng was still a little unconvinced and didn't care at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he turned around angrily and was about to retreat, but he heard a dense roar of horses' hooves and the sound of the earth shaking together, everyone was suddenly shocked, and turned their heads together to look, only to see the smoke and dust rising in the distance and waving the flag, it seems that the Huifu military horse is really coming in the direction of Lingwu.

Zhou Zheng sneered, took out the sword on his waist, bowed to Lin Yong and said: "Governor, the Hui army is attacking, and the last general is willing to lead 10,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy and fight to the death with the Hui people, and let Chang'an Hou and the brothers of the forbidden army in the capital see that my Lingwu soldiers are not idle eaters, and there is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

Lin Yong scolded angrily: "Zhou Zheng, what kind of courage do you have?" The Hui army is approaching, the situation is unknown, you should be vigilant, prepare for war with all your might, and do not slack off! ”

With Lin Yong's order, all the Lingwu generals began to run around the city gate tower, guarding their posts, and with the loud sound of military horns, the rumbling footsteps shook the entire city tower, and thousands of Lingwu defenders rushed up to the city tower and rushed to their own defense posts.

Kong Sheng glanced at Zhou Zheng coldly, at this juncture, it was impossible for him to turn his face against Zhou Zheng because of his personal anger, so as not to miss the Lingwu matter. And why did the Hui people suddenly raise troops to come?

Kong Sheng frowned and looked at the direction of the Hui army's horse's action, feeling a little puzzled. He expected that the Hui people would not really want to provoke a war with the Tang Dynasty, and now that he and the princess have arrived, they have even agreed with the time, and the Hui Hui outside Lingwu City will meet three days later, why did Mo Yansi raise troops at this time? It's unreasonable.

Wu Xian's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said: "General, my forbidden army of 5,000 men and horses is still stationed outside the city, if the 100,000 troops come to attack, is it ......?"

Kong Sheng shook his head: "Don't be impatient. Wuxian, you go out of the city quickly and tell Nan Yong that the whole army is on alert, but you are not allowed to move rashly! If you attack back to the enemy, immediately line up to meet the enemy, and don't take half a step back! Even if it is a soldier to the end of the battle, it is not allowed to let people say that our forbidden army is all wine bags and rice bags, greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Kong Sheng's voice was cold, but it was obviously for Zhou Zheng and these spiritual martial guards. Zhou Zheng was silent after listening to the sneer, Lin Yong hesitated for a moment, but still turned his head and arched his hand to Kong Sheng: "Chang'an Hou, the forbidden army is camped outside the city, and if something happens, in the opinion of this official, it is better to let the forbidden army move into the city, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the Hui army......"

Kong Sheng indifferently refused: "No need. Open the city gate now, once the Hui army hits, it will inevitably affect the Lingwu to defend the city. This time, the forbidden army followed Kong to protect the princess and relatives, although there were only 5,000 people, but all of them were the elite of the forbidden army, even in the face of 100,000 Hui troops, even if they couldn't be defeated, there should be no problem in retreating! Moreover, the situation is unclear now, so it is not advisable to act rashly! ”

Kong Sheng frowned, still thinking about what the Hui people wanted to raise their troops for. But in any case, Kong Sheng still did not believe that the Hui people would declare war on the Tang Dynasty at all costs. No matter how tough the militants in the Hui country were, the final decision still depended on Khan Mo Yan Si. And the most important thing is that the direction of history has long been destined, and Kong Sheng, who has the advantage of grasping the forward-looking information industry, has his own bottom line in his heart.

Of course, some slight adjustments to local details cannot be ruled out. But the big framework and trend will not change, at least in this era, the Hui people have not yet launched a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty.

Lin Yong sighed, then turned his head and continued to command his own city defense. As for the safety of the forbidden army, since Kong Sheng didn't accept his affection, why did he bother to do it?

In fact, at this time, Nan Yong's forbidden army camp outside the city had already gathered all his soldiers to mount their horses and line up outside the camp, and in the camp, ten artillery carriages loaded with Shenwei's invincible general's cannon also removed the thick linoleum covering them, revealing hideous and terrifying fanged faces.

The more than 100 artillery soldiers personally trained by Kong Sheng were lined up on both sides of the artillery trucks as if they were facing a great enemy, and as long as Kong Sheng gave an order to use artillery, they would immediately enter a tense combat state. But without Kong Sheng's order, artillery could never be used lightly.

And if it weren't for the sudden attack of the Hui people, most people in the camp would not have expected that the army would be carrying a mysterious artillery piece from Kong Sheng, a magic weapon that has been widely known in Chang'an and makes everyone creepy.

Because Nan Yong and other forbidden troops were outside the city, they felt the movement of the Hui military horses more clearly. Nan Yong listened to the ground, and after a long time, he turned over his horse with a solemn face, and turned around to stare at the top of the Lingwu City Tower, which was nervously preparing for battle.

According to his experience and judgment, there should be about 20,000 or 30,000 troops and horses in the Hui Hui, and if the Hui attack the city, his 5,000-strong cavalry will bear the brunt, and it is impossible to retreat without a fight, which is not the style of Kong Sheng's army. It is necessary to rush forward and fight to the death with the Hui people. And if the Lingwu defenders blindly defend the city, then it would be a little bad for their own forbidden cavalry to take risks alone.

Fortunately, the general was still in the city, and it was impossible for him to sit idly by. Nan Yong calmed down his heavy mind a little. At this moment, the small city gate behind Lingwu City creaked open, and more than a dozen horses galloped out, looking at Wuxian and others from a distance.

Nan Yong took a deep breath, rode out of the camp, and greeted him.

Wu Xian galloped to the front, and Xiang Nanyong arched his fist and said: "Nan Yong, the general has an order, the whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy, but don't act rashly!" ”

Nan Yong nodded slowly: "I understand, General Wu, if you go back and report to the general, just say that Nan Yong has his own measure, and everything is obeyed by orders!" But if it comes to the last resort, Nan Yong has no way to retreat, so he can only lead 5,000 sons to forget about life and death, and fight to the death with the Hui people! ”

Wu Xian sighed and said, "I hope not." Nan Yong, a certain family will go back to report to the general, and the general said that when necessary, he will go out of the city and fight side by side with his sons! ”

Nan Yong's expression was shocked, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Kong Sheng's bravery, the forbidden soldiers and soldiers are known to everyone. If you can fight side by side with Kong Sheng, even if it is tens of thousands of Hui military horses, outnumbered, what can you do?

A wave of pride arose, and Nan Yong laughed and said: "General Wu, please tell the general, my five thousand sons have no one of the bad seeds, I would rather die than give in, and I will never fall into the prestige of the Divine Army!" ”

Wu Xian also laughed wildly, turned around and secretly raised his little thumb to Zhou Zheng on the city tower, and suddenly lowered his voice again: "Nan Yong, these Lingwu soldiers look down on our forbidden army brothers, and then if the Hui people really attack Lingwu, you have to fight bravely, don't let people see our jokes!" You can rest assured, the general will not sit idly by, and when the time comes, the general will definitely lead the army out of the city to respond, and will not let you fall into a siege! ”

Kong Sheng was also ordered by the emperor to take over the defense of Lingwu, and the emperor's holy decree was on Wuxian's body. But this matter is the emperor's secret decree, and no one knows about it except Wu Xian. Therefore, Wu Xian had no fear at all, and he expected that these people in Lingwu would not dare to disobey the emperor's orders.

According to Wuxian, Kong Sheng should have shown his holy decree a long time ago and took over Lingwu. But Kong Sheng is not Wuxian after all, and he doesn't want to meddle in Lingwu's affairs until he has to. As long as things are still under control, he will not take over Lingwu.

But now that the Hui people have suddenly raised troops and the situation has changed abruptly, Kong Sheng may have to take this road. (To be continued.) )
